We’ve revamped commenting

It had been five years since we rolled out commenting on MarketWatch. We’ve enhanced the experience.

What’s new in our upgraded commenting system? Here are some of the highlights:

Faster commenting! You’re now able to see your comments and those of others posted in real-time.

You also have visibility into how many people are “following” your comments when you publish a post. Learn more.

To give you a 360-degree view into a discussion, we now pull in comments from across Twitter and Facebook that are about our stories. In other words, you don’t have to go anywhere else to follow the full conversation.

We’ve also made our commenting platform inherently more social. You can opt to share your comments via Twitter or Facebook so that you can more easily share your comments across the Web, or invite your friends and colleagues to join-in on a conversation.

As part of these changes, we now require users to provide their full names to comment on the site. If you are new to the site, you can register here. If you already have an account, you can update your profile with your first and last names to participate in a conversation. Please refer to our Commenting Guidelines as you post comments on the site or want to flag any inappropriate posts for our editors.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding these changes, please contact us. We’re eager to hear from you and hope you enjoy our new commenting system.
